The Nerd and The Frog

Friendly

Alan blinked in surprise, completely lost on what she was talking about.

"Do... you know her?" Daniel asked Alan, puzzled.

"I..." Alan stated, before he came to the realization himself. "Oh yeah, you're the girl from the hallway!"

She smiled brightly, walking over towards them both. "Did you get to your friend? I know you had to take them some clothes..." she asked, bashfully.

"Oh y-yeah! They're fine now! They have their clothes and such." Alan answered nervously, glancing over to Daniel, only to see him avert his gaze elsewhere, a faint blush on his face.

DON'T BLUSH LIKE THAT! SO DAMN CUTE.

"Oh, that's good to hear! Hopefully they're feeling better." she stated politely, before extending her hand. "I'm Mika Chen, by the way... We didn't really introduce ourselves before you ran off."

"Oh, sorry about that. I'm Alan Wilson." He stated with a polite smile, taking her hand gently. "And this is my friend, Daniel Lang." he spoke, pointing to Daniel.

"Ah, hello! I remember you from earlier, actually." Daniel spoke with a polite smile.

"Oh...." Mika stared back at him carefully, before smiling. "Oh, you're in my homeroom class! Nice to see you again." She stated politely.

"You guys have the same homeroom?" Alan asked, surprised.

"Yeah, she's new. She started today." Daniel proclaimed.

Alan looked back to Mika in shock, just to see her smile. "OH, welcome! Now I feel like an asshole for running into you earlier."

Mika laughed, shaking her head. "It's fine! You were rushing to help your friend, so I understand."

"I mean, yeah... but again, I'm sorry about that. I'll make up for it." Alan offered politely.

"Ah, you really don't have to..." Mika shook her head to decline.

"Let him make up for it. Alan is very polite and friendly." Daniel interjected with a smile of his own.

Alan looked over to Daniel, not sure why he was so eager to help him convince Mika of his gesture.

"Ok... I'll think it over and let you know when I'll take you up on your offer." Mika stated with a smile. The doors to the library opened once again, with the librarian having returned. "Oh, there she is. Let me go and get that book... it was nice to meet you both again." Mika spoke politely, before walking away.

"She's nice." Alan stated with a smile, watching her walk away.

"Yeah... she also likes you." Daniel stated with a smirk.

Alan jumped at the thought of a girl liking him, his entire face red from utter embarrassment. "NO, she doesn't." Alan quickly stated, looking at Daniel in shock.

"OH YEAH... she does." Daniel's smirk grew wider as he spoke. "She couldn't stop smiling the whole time she spoke with you. I could see it all over her face."

The urge to laugh loudly in disbelief was building up within Alan at the audacity of Mika liking him.

She can't fucking like me because BITCH, I'M GAY! Just as GAY as you are, you fucking beautiful dork.

"I'm sure... she was just being friendly..." Alan stated with a bashful chuckle, immediately walking towards the entrance of the library. He glanced over towards Mika as they walked past, only to see her look over towards him, before smiling and giving a polite wave, a light blush on her face as she did so.

"Sure... friendly... Whatever you say, Alan." Daniel teased as they walked out the library.

Alan smiled back nervously and returned the wave, internally screaming as he did so.

Oh fuck me... this shit just got even more complicated.
